COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONCask; Special.
This beer is a homage to the lead character in True Grit. It’s a robust pale ale, with a great length of flavour, loaded with juicy fruit aromas from its combination of American hops.

Cask conditioned handpump Mr Foleys Leeds 23/09/12. A golden beer with a white head and lacing. Nice citrussy grapefruity fresh hoppy aroma. I thought these hops were New Zealand but apparently not. Anyway it tastes really good too. The hops are again lively and although the malts a little sweeter than I’d like they just about manage to balance effectively. A tasty beer no doubt.

Cask at The Moon Under Water (JDW), Watford on 25 Apr 2012. Poured a lightly hazy golden colour, with a dense white head. Aroma of peaches, straw and floral hops. Some light citrus hop flavours, with bready malt and passionfruit. Finish was grass, satsuma and cereal.

25th April 2012: Hand pulled pint in my local Wetherspoons. Pale to light amber body, clean and clear, head was thin and almost white in colour.
Aroma of summer fruits with an overcoat of citrus intent at all times.
The taste was also fruity, with grapefruit being the main ‘stand out’ flavour for me. As the beer warmed the bitterness seemed to be less pronounced and the flavours began to become more sweet (almost orangey).
I wanted another pint, but I was on a mission so had to move on, pity because I’m not sure I’ve done this brew a fair review or justice.
